Uselesscamper posted a review: Sigh...just another 90pt. Syrah from AM... The Watch Hill Vineyard lies in the cool reaches of the Los Alamos Valley, a region that deserves its own AVA because of the uniqueness of its soils and climate. The grapes are allowed to reach very high maturity levels, while retaining a stunning natural acidity due to warm, sunny days and cool nights and soils rich in sand an calcareous material. This results in a very full-bodied syrah that is refreshing, rather than heavy or cloying. The aromas and flavors lean toward bright red fruits?cherries, raspberries, currants, and cranberries, with a spicy note dominated by fresh black pepper and a dose of sweet French Oak. This wine is quite drinkable now, but you will be rewarded if you wait 2-5 years to drink this one. Only 450 cases produced. Rated 90pts by Wine Advocate. Rating: 4.08 / 5.00
